Check to make sure the venturi has been
installed in the proper direction and ensure that
the nozzle of the venturi is in place.
Check to make sure the discharge line is large
enough to accommodate the flow of the mixture.
Discharge line should be no smaller than the
size of the fitting on the venturi. (1 1/2" or 2"
depending on the model.)
Check to see if there are obstructions in the
line after the venturi. This can be done by
running a hose directly from venturi to the top
of the sprayer tank, bypassing all of the sprayer
plumbing.
If venturi is sucking properly, check all fittings to
make sure they are not smaller than the hose
size being used. Tees and elbows will add to
back pressure created after the venturi, so avoid
the use of elbows and tees where possible.
Sharpen the knife assembly by removing the
assembly and securing it with a vice or on a

Don't force jug onto knife assembly. Apply
constant, even pressure.
